"Red or black?" he asked, his gaze piercing as he waited for my response.

I hesitated, avoiding his eyes as I weighed my options. Those hazel eyes had always had an unnerving effect on me - the way they sparkled when he spoke, the way his iris seemed to gleam with intensity. I couldn't handle it.

"I'll go with red," I said finally.

He leaned in closer, his voice slow and seductive. "So you like blood, huh?"

I shifted back, my heart racing. "No, I don't like blood. I'm not a vampire, why would I like blood?"

He chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I'm not a vampire either, and yet... I like blood. I like to spill the blood of my foes." His gaze locked onto mine, I felt a jolt of anxiety.

He towered over me, his intoxicating scent washing over me as we navigated the racks of clothes. My eyes landed on a stunning red dress, its sparkly fabric, singlet straps, and delicate ruffles leaving me breathless. I could already envision it paired with silver jewelry – the combinatio

    ELIANAA creeping sense of unease settled over me, and I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me. Even with Axel by my side, fear began to simmer just below the surface. I had been so preoccupied that I hadn't even thought about my father's deal with the deadly threat against me before leaving the house.I was all too aware that my father would stop at nothing to capture me. I could almost feel his rage simmering, knowing that I had defied him in such a bold way. This was uncharted territory for me - I had never dared to disobey him so brazenly before.I had always been obedient, doing his bidding without question, even though he had never shown me an ounce of love or affection. His expectations had been my only guiding force, shaping my every move, until now.All that had ever mattered to him was his precious wife and her daughter - not me, his own flesh and blood. He wasn't worried that he hadn't seen me for days; I was certain of that. He wouldn't be consumed by ang

    AXELAs I walked away from her, I could feel her eyes on me, burning with a mix of emotions. I knew she was scared, but I also knew she was strong. She had to be.I scanned our surroundings, my senses on high alert. I had taken care of two of the followers, but there was at least one more lurking in the shadows. I wouldn't rest until I had neutralized the threat.I felt disrespected; they knew I was with her and still dared to come attack. I would definitely explain to them that I'm not just the lycan king but AXEL DRACONISI couldn't shake the feeling that the persistent threat was more than just a coincidence. I was convinced that her pervert of a father, that depraved individual, had committed another heinous crime elsewhere. His actions had likely stirred up a new enemy, one that was now trying to get to her.My instincts screamed that there was more to this story, that her father's web of deceit and corruption was far-reaching.

    ELIANAI stood there, still trying to process the events that had just unfolded. The fear that had gripped me was slowly receding, replaced by a sense of gratitude.He took my hands in his, his touch warm and reassuring. "You don't have to worry about that," he said softly. "Just go change, and we can head back with the dress."I looked up at him, my eyes locking onto his. "Thank you," I whispered, the words barely audible.I felt a lump form in my throat as I gazed at him. He had saved me, protected me from those men. I didn't know what I would have done without him.Yet, beneath the surface, a nagging sense of unease lingered. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but I knew it was there, simmering just below the threshold of my awareness.Despite this, one thing was undeniable: I felt safe with him. He had protected me and shielded me from harm, and in his presence, I felt a sense of security I couldn't ignore. It was as if his strength and power had wrapped themselves around me, f

    ELIANAWith a sense of determination, I knew I had to find Axel. I needed to tell him about the searing pain that awaited me. He already knew about the pregnancy, and he was well aware of our laws and traditions.It was best that I confided in him. His power and influence within could potentially be my only hope for finding a way to alleviate the agony that loomed ahead.The thought of venturing out alone sent a shiver down my spine. I knew I wouldn't stand a chance against the numerous threats lurking in the shadows. Our lands were treacherous, and the journey would be fraught with danger.I risked being captured by my father's men, who would stop at nothing to bring me back under their control.

    ELIANA"Seems like someone was missing me," Axel said, his voice low and smooth as he walked into the room. His black top clung to his torso, accentuating his chiseled physique, and his sweatpants hung loose, giving him a relaxed yet athletic air.It had taken him a whole 24 hours to come see me, and I was tired of waiting. I had almost given up hope that he would show up at all, but here he was, approaching me with his signature confident stride. I felt a mix of emotions as he drew near: relief that he had finally arrived, and a twist in my stomach as I recalled the unsettling scene I had witnessed - or rather, overheard - yesterday."Yes..." I started to say, but then quickly corrected myself. "I mean, no. I came to see you, but it seemed like you were busy."The way I said "busy" must have conveyed more than I intended, because Axel's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze piercing as if sensing the underlying emotions I couldn't quite control. I hated that I couldn't mask my feelings be

    AXELAs I gazed into her blue eyes, I could see the trust growing within them. She was becoming more comfortable around me, and everything was unfolding exactly as I had planned. I couldn't help but smile inwardly, pleased with the progress.This was what I needed from her - her trust, her vulnerability. And she was complying perfectly, unaware of the fate that awaited her. The process of sealing her fate was a delicate one, and for now, I was content to savor the journey, to relish in the subtle dance of power and manipulation.Her eyes flashed with anger, a sentiment she struggled to conceal. My beta had briefed me on the situation, and it seemed she had overheard something in Ragnorr's room that had ignited her ire. Initially, she had assumed I was the one responsible, but what she didn't realize was that I didn't have time for petty games. I was here on a mission, one I had dedicated my life to, and nothing would distract me from my ultimate goal.I couldn't afford to let anything

    ELIANAWe soon arrived at a cave, its entrance a dark and foreboding mouth in the side of the mountain. The air inside was thick and heavy, and the silence was oppressive, making my skin crawl. The heat was intense, a dry and suffocating warmth that seemed to sear my lungs. And yet, despite the physical discomfort, it was the memory of the huge wolf that continued to haunt me, its presence lingering in my mind like a shadow. I couldn't shake the feeling that I should be afraid of it, but the reason why remained frustratingly out of reach.As we transformed back into our human forms, I couldn't help but feel a flush rise to my cheeks. We stood there, naked and unadorned, our bodies vulnerable to the other's gaze. My eyes, seemingly of their own accord, drifted to Axel's, and I felt a jolt of attraction. His physique was chiseled and strong, and I found myself drawn to him, my gaze flickering to his gigantic shaft, my mind momentarily forgetting the pressing matters that had brought us

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Suffocated

    ELIANA I stumbled and staggered, my vision blurring as the room spun around me. What was going on? I was a werewolf, for crying out loud! It took a lot to get me intoxicated , and yet...and yet I felt like I was going to pass out. That herbal drink must have been ridiculously strong, I thought, trying to remember what had happened. I recalled...and A drink that must have been laced with something powerful, because now I was paying the price. My head was pounding, my senses were dulled, and I felt like I was floating on a cloud. Not good. This was so not good.The thought sent a shiver down my spine. Was it for me to submit to him? The one who had always made my instincts go on high alert? I had always resisted his dominance, refused to back down. But now, in this state, I felt vulnerable, exposed. The drink seemed to be clouding my judgment, making me question my own strength. No, I told myself, trying to shake off the fogginess. I will not submit. I am a werewolf, a strong and p

My determination was unwavering, my resolve unshakeable. I was willing to risk everything to make sure she was safe, to make sure she was mine. The thought of her in harm's way, of her being hurt or exploited, was unbearable.

    ElianaEverything went hazy and foggy, like a thick mist had rolled in, obscuring my vision and clouding my mind. I felt myself drifting away, disconnected from my body and surroundings. The last thing I remembered was the sensation of falling, but I didn't know what I was falling into. Then, nothing.My words slurred together, and my thoughts felt muddled and disjointed. I tried to speak, but my voice sounded distant and unclear, even to my own ears. My head spun, and the room seemed to tilt and sway around me, making me feel like I was floating on a sea of confusion. I struggled to focus, but my eyelids felt heavy, and my body felt limp and uncoordinated.I was vaguely aware of being lifted off the chair, and strong arms wrapped around me, holding me close. I tried to lift my head, to see who was carrying me, but it felt like it was made of lead. I caught a glimpse of a blurred face, but the features were indistinct. I strained my ears to hear the sound of a voice, but there was

    ELIANA The perfect opportunity. The crowd had dispersed, and now it was just Herold and I, alone except for the quiet presence of the maids. The air was thick with tension as I locked eyes with Herold, my gaze piercing and cold. I could feel the weight of my anger and resentment bearing down on me, but I kept it in check, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The maids, sensing the tension, kept their heads down, busying themselves with their tasks as they tried to blend into the background. But I knew they were aware of the dynamics at play here. They knew that something was about to go down. And I was ready to make my move.My eyes narrowed as I watched Herold approach, my mind racing with suspicion. What was he hiding? Why did he have so many female staff members surrounding him? It seemed... excessive. And then, a thought occurred to me. A thought that made my blood run cold. Was it possible that Herold was involved in something more sinister? Something that required a stead

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Needed My Prey

    AXELI stood in the empty hallway, my eyes wandering to the spaces where she used to be. I hated myself for it, but I couldn't deny the truth: I missed her presence around here. The way she used to move with quiet confidence, the way her eyes would sparkle when she thought no one was looking. It was all so... absent now. And I was left with this gnawing feeling of emptiness.As the Lycan King, I was supposed to be a force of nature, a being of raw power and instinct. But when it came to her, I felt like I was losing my grip on my primal instincts. I thought back to our last encounter, the way she had stood up to me, the way she had looked at me with such pity in her eyes. I couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of pride, knowing that I had been the one to bring out that spark in her.But now, she was gone, and I was left with nothing but the echoes of my own thoughts. I shook my head, trying to clear the cobwebs. What was wrong with me? I was the ruler of the Lycans, and I couldn't

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Almost Time

    ELIANA I walked down the stairs, my eyes scanning the room below. As I descended, I noticed heads turning in my direction. I was supposed to feel flattered, and happy that I was drawing attention. But I didn't. Because it wasn't good attention. It was the kind of attention that made my skin crawl, that made me feel like a specimen on display. I could sense the whispers, the curious glances, and I knew that I was being sized up, judged, and found wanting. My heart sank, and I felt a wave of anxiety wash over me. I didn't want to be the center of attention, not like this. I just wanted to be left alone.As I walked into the living room, I was struck by the transformation that had taken place in just an hour. The room, which had been ordinary and unassuming earlier, now looked like a luxurious banquet hall. The decorations were elegant and understated, with soft lighting and intricate arrangements that added a touch of sophistication to the space. Soft music played in the background,

    ElianaThe weight of my situation bore down on me, making me feel hopeless. Maybe I shouldn't even bother trying to escape. I had no one to turn to, no ally to trust. If I did manage to escape, where would I go? Axel's face flashed in my mind, but I pushed it away. He would probably hate to see me, and besides, I had no idea where he was. I was completely alone, with no one to rely on. The thought was suffocating. Even if I did escape, I would be on my own, with no one to help me. The risk was too great, and I felt like I was trapped with no way out. Maybe it was better to just accept my fate and try to make the best of it. ‘Best out of it.’ I scoffed bitterly at my own thoughts.But the thought of giving up, of surrendering to Herold's plans, was unbearable.I snapped back to reality, the lady's waving hands breaking the spell of my reverie. "Hello, ma'am," she said, her voice tinged with a hint of amusement. I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I realized how lost in thought I had

    ISABELLAI watched as he remained oblivious to my presence, his attention focused elsewhere. I couldn't help but wonder what he was doing here and why he seemed so out of place.Within me I wished we would cross paths, but that would just mean unleashing another phase of pain.But before I could ponder further, the ladies escorted me into the house.The interior was luxurious, but in an old, faded way. The air was thick with the scent of decay and rot, and I could feel the weight of years of neglect bearing down upon me.One of the ladies spoke up, her voice breaking the silence. "I will direct you to the shower, where you can prepare for tonight," she said, her tone firm but polite. I nodded, still feeling a sense of unease and disorientation.I looked at the lady; I noticed a subtle shift in her demeanour. She seemed softer and more gentle, and her voice took on a slightly warmer tone.It was a stark contrast to the way she had spoken to me earlier, in the presence of Herold. I reme

    IsabellaCannis tossed me to the floor, and I landed with a thud, my palms scraping against the cold surface. Herold's voice cut through the air, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Don't treat her like that," he said, his words laced with mockery. "She's my wife, after all." The way he said it made it clear that he was only defending me out of mockery.His voice was tinged with disdain, and I felt a sting of humiliation at his words. I looked up at him, meeting his gaze, and saw the amusement dancing in his eyes. He was enjoying this, enjoying the power he held over me.I shook my head, trying to process the surreal scene unfolding before me. At first, I had thought that Victoria and my so-called father were pretending to be kind to me just to appease Herold, to keep him happy and invested in their twisted games. But now, I wasn't even sure of that. Everything seemed to have taken a wild turn, and I was struggling to keep up. Herold's sarcastic defense of me, Canis's rough handling, an
